Thor 5 is in development at Marvel Studios. Unfortunately there is a good chance Taika Waititi will return to direct but it is NOT a done deal. I’d like to see someone like Sam Hargrave doing it, he’ll make a badass Thor movie.pic.twitter.com/IqV53VQeQe

However, the MCU fans are not thrilled to see the director return for another sequel, as the news had only negative responses from the fans.
Nope, Taika has done enough harm.
This film broke my heart. You won’t meet a bigger fan of Thor: God Of Thunder, the most heavy metal comic story EVER TOLD! If you haven’t read it, it’s a must-read. It’s brilliantly written by Jason Aaron, and Esab Ribic’s art is mesmerizing.…pic.twitter.com/XHJCNg7LB2

Cool but please someone else. I’m cool with jokes but just not for the whole entire movie 24/7 like the last one.

That’s a horrific situation if true. TW should be nowhere near it

I hope he doesn’t. Love and Thunder was a low point for everyonehttps://t.co/U4ecqRCSgS

That would be the worst possible director for Thor 5.
Even Hemsworth didn’t seem happy .

Chris Hemsworth FoundThor 4Too Silly
Chris Hemsworthis not a fan of Watiti’s work inThor 4, as he stated that even though the cast of the film enjoyed working in the film, after some point it became silly, and naturally fans were not too fond of it. Naturally, the film became an eyesore for fans and critics pointing out the poor writing and direction of the film.
“I think we just had too much fun. It just became too silly. It’s always hard being in the center of it and having any real perspective… I love the process, it’s always a ride. But you just don’t know how people are going to respond.”
During an interview with Today, Chris Hemsworth stated that the goofiness featured inThor: Love and Thunderwas because of Watiti’s inner child.
“It was Taika at his craziest. Taika, normally, is kind of at an 11, so you can do the math there. He described it as like he’d been given the keys to the kingdom, and someone said, ‘Here if a seven-year-old was making a movie, what would you do?’ He said, ‘Well, I want to put this in it. I want to do this. I want to try this.’ And everything he suggested, I said yes to, and then we had this insane film in front of us.”
Nevertheless, fans were not too fond of the director’s inner child, as he created a film full of cringe-worthy scenes, and even Chris Hemsworth’s kids did not hold back. As they were not a fan of how the Asgardian traveled in a Viking Longboat, dragged through space by two goats.
